“A-what do you mean?Why did that happen?"
His father is the ruler of this country. He was like an emperor in the Valin region. But he was caught. His father had to get him out of jail. She had to support him until he became the Crown Princess.
So what's gonna happen to him now?
“I can't wait to get revenge for my sister, but I'm different from a piece of trash like you. So I'll wait for a fair assessment.”
The servant told Joanna. However, Joanna did not have the energy to be angry. He could not accept the fact that his father had been arrested.
"What if you eat this? Anyway, this may be your last morning.”
The waiter sneered and left the prison. A terrifying creaking sound rang out and the huge prison door closed.
Joanna looked at the ugly potato.
This is his last morning? Why did he have to end up like that? What's he doing wrong? Those who dare to do this are evil! He should be in that monster's place! Why was he punished!?
"Aah!"
Joanna screamed and threw away her food.
"I want out! Let me out now! Nah! I don't want this!”
But now no one is listening to him.

Marron became a high priest at a young age because of his upright character, diligent way of life and strong will to reform the church.
Tenstheon has chosen Marron, a new face, to eliminate the Asmodian experiment that has been going on for over hundreds of years. Marron was also clearly aware of that.
In the capital and places where the influence of the imperial family was strong, the experiment almost disappeared.
However, on islands and small regions that are geographically isolated, Asmodian trials are still rampant, and that is a significant problem.
Because of the close bond between the master and the priest, even if the central command was issued, the people would not follow it. In response, Marron decides to go to various places to investigate the true condition of the Asmodian trial and imposes a sentence. The first thing he did was to investigate the Valin region.
Mr. Valin and his daughter, Joanna, have executed many people for trivial reasons.
People shut up because of fear. Without any evidence, they could not report it. They thought it wouldn't be easy to investigate all three, but Blake made things easier.
Upon hearing that Joanna was behind bars, many marched from dawn to accuse the rulers of Valin, Joanna, and Priest Alt.
Thanks to this, they could involve Viscounts and priests as well.
"thank you. Everything is going well thanks to you. ”
Marron thanked Blake. When he heard that Blake was in the valley of chaos, Marron went to see him. At the time, Blake said he wanted to visit Valin's estate for a while but he did not say why.
Marron did not mention where he lived. In fact, he had not even decided on a residence from the very beginning. But Blake correctly estimated the location.
"He dug his own grave."
“Thank you for remembering me.”
"You talk too much."
"This is the first time I've heard that."
Marron's eyes sparkled as he spoke to Blake, but Blake only frowned as if he was used to it.
He told her that every time they met, so how could he never hear her?
"After all, I'm glad I helped you."
Heir to curses, Roums and experiments. The state of the empire was bad, and Blake had become the center of all humiliation. He was also one of those who hoped the reckless experiment would disappear.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
"Do you want me to go?"
"Yes, if you know that, then please go."
“What because of him?”
Marron has always loved Blake, and he has always been fascinated by her power. But it's not just that. Blake had suffered a curse at an early age, but in the end, he gained a power that envy everyone.
The only problem was that he was not interested in anyone else. He focused all his efforts on the missing Crown Princess and he did not spare any space in his heart for others. He didn't even want to be bothered to be friends with anyone, and of course not a single woman could influence him.
No matter how many times Marron explained the importance of the connection to Blake, he still could not persuade her.
Marron recalled the sight of Blake holding the woman's hand tightly.
She was beautiful, but her scar was so severe that it covered her beauty.
"Marron, is there any way to treat burn scars and mute people?"
“All treatments in the church come from which stone. It was not comparable to the power of the goddess. What you can't do, I can't either.”
"I understand."
Blake never relied on anyone, but this time, he voluntarily asked Marron for help.
He really cares about her.
But his identity was unknown and his appearance was not helpful either.
They had a hard road to walk in front of them.
Marron was a little worried but then she remembered how Blake overcame the curse without any problems.
"Thank you."
Blake smiled. It was the first genuine smile Marron had seen on his face in seven years.

Similar to the original story, Joanna in this timeline also ushers innocent people to their deaths through an Asmodian trial.
But Blake was different from Richard, and he protected me right away.
When I thought back to last night, strangely, I realized that I was never worried.
I didn't doubt him even for a moment that he would agree just because I wasn't Ancia.
Blake held my hand tight all night.
Is it to comfort me because I've been wrongly accused?
I don't think so. He must have suspected that I was Ancia.
He's very nice to me, but how does he know?
What's just from the instructions about perilla leaves and lemon jam?
I thought I'd be happy if he recognized me, but I'm actually a little confused.
The knights were busy preparing for our departure from the morning and Blake left the place for a while when the high priest visited him. I sat down and saw the knights preparing. Actually, I wanted to help, but when I thought about it, I felt that I would only increase their burden. My left hand had a severe burn scar and did not work properly. My right hand was trembling a little too.
“Oh, when will this nomadic life end?”
"I don't know."
The young knights grumbled.
“Ah, will the Crown Prince get married and settle down?”
Heart's sinking. Blake's getting married?
"When did Diana graduate?"
The brown-haired knight asked Jayden.
"He's in his 6th year now."
“She actually wanted to graduate back then, but she took a two-year leave to look for her older sister.”
Diana took two years off because of me?
Diana had desperately focused herself in her studies back then, saying that she did not want to call the children younger than her as her seniors.
Of course, I think he has graduated now and become a great knight.
However, he still attended the academy.
“But, two years break? Is that possible?”
“Your Majesty helped him. At first I thought she did it because she was the younger sister of His Majesty, but it turns out that she is taking care of her future daughter-in-law.”
"Then, she'll get married after she graduates?"
"I think so."
Everyone nodded, but the knight with a very short haircut gasped,
"When they get married, what if we need to continue the search for His Majesty ourselves?"
"Hi! Don't say scary things like that!”
"Absolutely. Does that make sense?”
“Why doesn't it make sense?”
"Alex, that's why you're not popular with women."
"Why?Is there something wrong with me!?"
The knight named Alex is excited.
“Now Diana will be the Crown Princess, no matter how close she is to her older sister, will the real Crown Princess love it if her husband takes his own little sister as his wife?”
"Maybe…?"
"Of course not."
“Yeah, I don't know.”
“ Anyway, I hope they can get married soon. We can't keep looking for dead people like this. He must continue to live for the future.”
